David Moyes has revealed that he banned chips during his time at Manchester United as he felt a few of the first team players at Old Trafford were overweight.

The Scot left the Merseyside club to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford. However, the Red Devils struggled under his reign as the 20-times English champions showed Moyes the exit door after just 10 months into his six-year contract.

During Moyes' time at Everton, he saw the Toffess allow several of their star players like Wayne Rooney and Joleon Lescott leave the club. The Glaswegian admitted that helping Everton turn into a club competing at the top end of the league was his biggest achievement in his managerial career.

"Turning Everton into a club which beat the top clubs on a limited budget – and doing that despite selling exceptional players like Wayne Rooney, Jack Rodwell and Joleon Lescott," Moyes said.

"I got Everton competing at the top end of the league with a mid-table budget. I gave everything I could in trying to make Everton the best I could. It was a long process but we did it – my staff, my players and others at the club."

"We had some glorious nights at Goodison and the fans were superb. I've got huge affection for Everton, it was my life for over a decade," the Scot concluded.
